The Legacy Theatre

Executive director of The Legacy, Scott Richardson, and Patrick Russell, associate director joined us to talk about the eclectic upcoming season through the rest of the year and into January. Shows include a Marx Brothers inspired musical with local performers, acrobatic cats, a metal Christmas show complete with lasers and other special effects, a returning musical about a transgender rock singer... and more:

Sunset Boulevard is a musical that almost never was. It went through multiple failed plans before Andrew Lloyd Weber - who also wrote the music for The Phantom of the Opera - took the story line of a movie from 1950 and made it a Broadway hit. And now, the musical is coming to The Legacy Theatre in Springfield - the first time it will have a run in the city.
